Q: How do I make NTFS format for partition in disk utility ?

Hi, how would I format a external hard drive partition to NTFS for windows ? There's no option in disk utility. Only MS-DOS ( FAT ) , ExFat, free space, Mac OS extended- journaled, Mac OS extended, journaled case sensitive.


The other partition would be mac os extended journaled . Does it have something to do with partition scheme ? I'm running mountain lion .

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

    I don't know if you have ever solved this problem. You just make 2 partitions like you would normally (extended - journaled). Then with bootcamp you install windows (the windows installer can format disks, making them NTFS). Otherwise you'll need an external program like the earlier suggestions, or operate in a windows environment, since apple doesn't really support NTFS: reading only, not writing.
